Families are posting pleas on Facebook groups for patients who have recovered from Covid-19, asking them to donate plasma so that seriously ill patients can get experimental treatment

Before seriously ill Covid-19 patients can get an experimental treatment called convalescent plasma therapy, their families have to do just one thing: find the donors.

Even while supporting very ill loved ones, family members search for potential donors and help them navigate donating at a blood bank. The hope is that antibody-rich plasma from a recovered Covid-19 patient, when transfused into a seriously ill patient, will help fight the new coronavirus that scientists have barely begun to understand.

The amount of people who could donate would be significantly larger if we had an antibody test. I couldn’t be tested, state only able to test first responders.

That sounds like a “Socialist” fucking idea. What about selling that shit bro? RealWorldShit
